Recent Books:   The Embedded Systems Handbook CRC Press Industrial Information Technology Series ISBN: 0849328241 Hardcover: 1160 pages Edited by Richard Zurawski book's details: pdf 467 KB Publisher Note   Embedded systems are nearly ubiquitous, and books on individual topics or components of embedded systems are equally abundant. Unfortunately, for those designers who thirst for knowledge of the big picture of embedded systems there is not a drop to drink. Until now. The Embedded Systems Handbook is an oasis of information, offering a mix of basic and advanced topics, new solutions and technologies arising from the most recent research efforts, and emerging trends to help you stay current in this ever-changing field.   With preeminent contributors from leading industrial and academic institutions around the globe, this authoritative handbook presents timely tutorials, surveys, and technological overviews spanning the range of issues and technologies involved in embedded systems. Many of the technology developments, deployments, and trends are made available in this book for the first time anywhere. Six sections provide coherence to the presentation, detailing: A broad introduction to embedded systems System- and network-on-chip (SoC/NoC) design Testing of embedded core-based integrated circuits  Networked embedded systems Sensor networks, and Automotive, industrial automation, and intelligent sensor applications With concise yet comprehensive coverage of the latest developments, solutions, tools, products, and research results, the Embedded Systems Handbook is ideal for both novices and seasoned engineers looking to enhance and expand embedded systems capabilities. Audience Electrical, computer, software, systems, industrial, process control, electronics, circuits, device, and instrumentation engineers; design automation, embedded systems, integrated circuit, industrial electronics, and mechatronics engineers, architects, and researchers; device, integrated circuit, and consumer and industrial electronics manufacturers; sensor and wireless network engineers and technologists; and students and researchers in these areas.
